this is fox 5 news at 10:00. right now at 10:00, breaking news, a 15-year-old found dead in maryland, and his killer is still on the streets. >> plus, a woman's body found inside a burning apartment, and police say it was no accident. the question surrounding this

investigation. >> we're keeping an eye on the potential for some winter weather, first. i'm shawn yancy. >> and i'm brian bolter. a few changes tomorrow. when, where, and what. i guess that's three questions, sue palka is in the weather center. >> i can only answer one at this time, brian. actually, we have rain coming and i want you to see it's all ahead of a cold front, and you're right, the timing is everything because we have temperatures in the 30s, and we expect them to drop a little bit more. we expect the bulk of that rain to get to dc between 9:00 and 11:00 in the morning, but there are some areas where it will arrive earlier, and because the air will be colder, you could have a wintry mix of maybe a small combination of snow and sleet. right now, we have some high, thin clouds around, and that's actually allowing temperatures to drop a little bit more, so we'll watch those temperatures. that temperature you see there stretches from chicago to the gulf coast. i expect that to be getting closer to the mountains by daybreak, and it will take a

little bit longer to get into most of the metro area. so for most of us, the morning rush-hour should be dry. for some of you, it will not be, and i wanted to show you we have some winter weather advisories posted to the west, including allegheny county and garrett, for a combination of snow and sleet before it changes to rain in the mountains, where they've already had some snow. so a little fresh coating to continue. it is possible that in some other spotty areas, maybe along and either side of interstate 81, you could have a touch of snow or sleet or an outside chance of freezing rain. the profile doesn't really look like one that would feature freezing rain so much, but check out these temperatures. it's already down to 32 degrees in places like cumberland and martinsburg, and frederick, you're already down. timing will be important. we expect our temperatures to drop to about 27, 28 degrees in the northern and western suburbs, so that's where we'd

have to watch. for most of us, i don't see it getting here until about 9:00 or so, and hopefully by then, everybody is above freezing. we'll continue to watch this, check the new information and make sure we don't have to twea. >> all right, sue. remember, you can track the winter weather yourself. log onto myfoxdc.com for more information. we're following breaking news in maryland. tonight, a teenager found dead in hillcrest heights. lauren lauren de marco is live at the prince georges county police department. what happened? >> reporter: a lot of questions after this 15-year-old was killed. police are describing his injuries as trauma at this point, and as you can imagine, family members are extremely distraught. detectives going door to door in hillcrest heights looking for leads after a 15-year-old was killed on the street.

scene. her death is being ruled a homicide, but how it happened and how the fire got started still hasn't been determined. a neighbor who lives on the third floor says she heard a loud argument around 2:30 a.m. and smelled smoke just before 6:00. >> i'm a really light sleeper. i woke up and my eyes were actually burning just a little bit. we checked it out and couldn't figure out what was going on, so i tried to go back to sleep. and about 20 minutes later, it actually got worse. >> reporter: amanda ham said she heard cursing during the argument. she said as far as she knew, only a man lived in that apartment. around 1:00 p.m., an officer with a bloodhound began following a track near the apartment. for over an hour, the dog led his handler up the road through reston north park, down reston parkway, continuing along a bike path for over a mile. it is unclear where the track ended. >> and neighbors are shaken by the crime, and adding to their worries the fact that none we talked to could recall hearing any smoke alarms this morning.

>> i would say maybe three to five times in a month. >> reporter: over a year, that's up to 60 times that a person ends up on the tracks, usually unintentionally. sometimes people drop things and jump down to retrieve it, with little thought for the danger. >> typically in most situations, the customer finds their way back up to the platform. >> reporter: but sometimes they can't. watch this surveillance video at the gallery place metro rail station four years ago. as the crowd is walking away, you can see at the top of the screen, a woman falls onto the tracks. people try to help but within seconds, the lights begin blinking, signalling a train arriving. another camera shows people waving desperately to stop the train. the video shows it in real time, from the time the woman fell and the train arrived, passing her takes just 17 seconds. transit police officer elliott clemson remembers it clearly. >> i turned and looked and saw a person standing there with their arms in the air. >> reporter: the officer was

working with metro for president obama's first inauguration. he'd had only a few hours' emergency training. >> she didn't have a lot of pull in her body to pull up. tried lifting her onto the platform, couldn't do that. >> reporter: how she survived is a lesson that's become increasingly important after recent subway attacks elsewhere. last month, surveillance video from philadelphia shows a 23-year-old woman dragged off the platform and thrown onto the tracks. >> i've been here 20 years and haven't seen anything this horrific. >> reporter: she climbed up, and that came after two subway pusher attacks in new york city, including a man police say was pushed to his death after an argument. no one helped as he desperately tried to climb up from the tracks. >> he wouldn't hesitate to not help anyone else. >> reporter: but if this had been the dc metro system, there may have been a way to survive. it's called an area of refuge

running the length of the platform just beneath the overhang. it's a few feet high and 23 inches wide, about the same as these two pieces of paper put together. it is meant as a last resort, when you can't escape an oncoming train. using this bench as an example, you need to lie down up against the wall as flat as you can, and don't move. >> the entire train is energized at that point. so you could touch a piece of the train that's electrified and be electrocuted. >> reporter: few people even know this refuge area exists. looking at it from the platform, many are skeptical. >> i don't believe so. i don't think so. we actually need to see someone do it to believe it. >> i'm just going to start praying. that's all i got. >> reporter: but that 2009 surveillance video is proof the train can't stop in time, and the woman is still on the tracks. that's when officer swanson remembered something from his brief training.

>> as i started pushing her down, telling her to stay up underneath the platform, the train came a little closer. she kind of jetted back out again. i had to push her back in and it was about that time the train rolled through the station. >> reporter: the train and track were deenergized while the woman remained trapped between the platform and the train car still alive. the woman escaped without any serious injuries. >> i had time to sit there and watch it and look at it, you know, just scratch my head and just thankful it was there. >> reporter: and the recent subway attacks brought everything flashing back. >> so if it happens, and you hope people will react and do something, not just stand by and watch. >> reporter: metro has stairs at the end of the platform from the track bed, but if a train is approaching, there may not be time to get there. and if you've managed to avoid being electrocuted by the high voltage third rail, the refuge under the platform may be the only hope of survival.

metro stresses this area is meant only as a last resort. if you see someone who has fallen on the metro tracks, call 9-1-1 and alert the station manager. whatever you do, don't jump down onto the tracks to help because now you have not just one but two lives at risk. in the web center, sherri ly, fox 5 news. gas prices just keep going up. you've probably noticed 32 straight days and counting. the national average now 3.73. in dc, you'll pay 21 cents more. maryland, almost on par, virginia's averaged 3.61. triple a said it's never seen gas prices go up this much this fast this early in the year, and we may be doing it to ourselves. the us is exporting more oil than it's importing. and that's where americans get our crude oil. >> we've been trying to develop the oil production market in this country for the last decade or so, and it's coming to

because sometimes these things speed up just a little bit, and we don't want it to get in here faster, but looking at all the new information tonight, i think most of us are just going to see some liquid showers coming on through. but we do have to watch this time of the year, that's for sure. and it was a cold weekend, wasn't it, and certainly was a cold day today. we saw our temperatures not getting very warm indeed, below average for this time of the year. only the 42 degrees. bwi, thurgood marshal about 40. we are expecting a chilly week ahead with the exception of tomorrow. i think we could actually get close to 50 degrees tomorrow afternoon, or 48 degrees at least. but the problem is tomorrow morning with a cold start, especially well west of here, and that's why we do have some winter weather advisories up that i'll show you in a moment. it gets windy tomorrow night, a strong cold front is coming through producing the showers for us tomorrow. on wednesday, only 38 degrees with a pretty good breeze blowing during the day. in fact, we could see wind as early as tomorrow night getting up to about 30 miles an hour and

higher to the west. we have to watch these temperatures tonight, that's for sure. look at frederick down to 28 degrees. we think temperatures aren't going to get a lot colder than this, but there will be a few spots tonight closer to 32 degrees, martinsburg, cumber land, just as it gets closer. we think most of the areas to the west, it would be a combination of snow and sleet but there's a slight chance of a little bit of freezing rain as well. culpepper 28, 29 for monases and dulles. and a lot of places will be close to freezing. as the sun comes up, temperatures will begin to rise, and we don't expect the rain until about 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning. but out here, that rain could start as early as 7:00. so that's why you have some winter weather advisories. it includes portions of allegheny and garrett county and down through preston, into some of the higher elevations to the west. could a little of this sneak closer to the interstate 80 corridor in a spotty fashion?

yes, it could. so that's why we'll have to watch those cold spots in the morning. but for most of you, this will be maybe an inch of combination of snow and sleet in the higher elevations, and again, a slight chance of freezing rain, but the profile looks more like a snow-sleet combination. we have some clouds around tonight. that is a good thing because it will keep us from getting too terribly cold, and the moisture we can see here, fairly healthy looking as it approaches cincinnati and continues moving fairly rapidly in this direction. there might be one more clear slot before those clouds thicken up and the rain gets closer. here's the future cast to give you an idea of the if timing of this moisture. in hagerstown, we'll see it about 7:00 a.m. and it may be in the form of snow early on for places like hagerstown. 10:00, not quite here to the beltyet. so most of us in the metro area will have a dry morning commute, but sometimes this moves faster.
